I'll buy it off you if you don't want the hassle of trying to return it. PM me if you'd like to shift it! Apparently Wacom & Airtek (never heard of 'em personally) tablets are good for Mac drivers. Phanerothyme 11-05-2005, 12:31 Why are Wacom tablets so much more expensive than the trust types? I have a small Wacom 6x4 tablet which I use all the time. I would like an A4+ tablet, but the cost is prohibitive. I am suspicious of the extremely cheap prices on other tablets - are they really comparable to the Wacom tablets? Anyone with experience of both? Craigy 11-05-2005, 13:16 I'v used cheap and expencive tablet's (wacom) and you can definatly tell the difference. With cheaper 1s you have to hold the pen at certain angles for the pressure sensers to work propperly and occasionally the cursor jumps about like a crazy thing. + generally get alot more problems with drivers etc. I'd rather have a small Wacom than a large trust anyday. hade 11-05-2005, 13:43 I bought a well cheap one from maplin a few years back, it was rubbish, jamstudio I think. It didn't even have XP drivers, completely unusable. Saw some in PC world a few months ago that were about £40, they may have been wacom or Trust, looked ok tho! carcrash 11-05-2005, 14:40 I've just been out and brought a wacom 6 by 4. £69 from cole brothers |
